Arsenal target Jackson Martinez set for MEDICAL but £25m too much for AC Milan
PORTO striker Jackson Martinez is set to undergo a medical ahead of his move to AC Milan.
Jackson Martinez set for AC Milan medical in Chile
According to reports in Italy, the Serie A giants are expected to fly their medics out this week to Chile, where he’s on international duty with Colombia.
Arsenal were heavily linked with a move for Martinez, but the 28-year-old striker is believed to have turned down the Gunners' lucrative offer because he believes in Milan's project.
However, the Rossoneri are reluctant to meet Martinez's release clause of £25million and continue to ask Porto to lower the price.
Porto president Pinto da Costa, though, insists he won't leave for a penny below their valuation, which could jeopardise the deal.
